Our i~nfOr10aticn in this matter
coMee from one who was close to
Church il his struggle for the Office
he now holds. Since Church has
shown his true character We have
often wondered at his appointment,
for President Cleveland has made
every effort to appoint only good
men, but denial Of any intimacy
between him and Church puts the
president right In the matter.
The maudlin condition of Church
while delivering his inaugural, andat
different times since is now an open
secret. II shows that q man who
has no regard for the dignity Of his
position, who puts no value upon
his word, and who has no sense oil
honor and trust between gentlemen,
possesses only beastly propensities,
which govern in all his actions. We
say these things Of our first Demo-

PRE- TRADE.

The reduction Of internal revenue
and the taking off Of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no
doubt has largely benefited the con-
sumers, as we'll as relieving the bur-
den Of home manufacturers. Es-
pecially is this the case with Green's
august Fo,rer and Boschce's German
Syrup, as the reduction Of thirty six
cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size Of the bottles con-
tanning these remedies, thereby CIV
ing one-ffth more medicine in the
rs cent size. The august Horer for
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and the German Syrup for cough and
lung troubles, have perhaps, the
largest sale of any medicines in the
world. The advantage Of increased
size of the bottles will be greatly ap-
preciated by the sick and afflicted
in every town and village in civiliz-
ed countries. Sample bottles for
10 cents remain the same size.

The Arrest OF o'Brien.

The arrest OF Mr.. William O'Brien at
ktngstown Is q clear expression upon the
part Of the Salisbury government that 1t
Intends TO suppress free speech In Ireland.
The arrest OF O'Brien Is for his failure to
orpcar aud answer to the charge of making
stditious speech In addressing meeting
Of The nationalists The charge was false
OF c, for Mr. O'Bren merely mado such
speeches as have been made by the Parnell-
its for.more than year past.
If the government had ordered the arrest
or prosecution OF Mr.. Labouchere there
might have been shadow OF n reason for
accusing him Of melting violence, as his
speech wos decidedly more az .ressive than
any that has been made by either Of the
Irish leaders. But the government was
| determined to avenge itself on Mr.. O'Bren
fer his oold invasion of the Dominion OF
| Canada, where he did show the outrageous
conduct of the party IN power toward the
| Irish people.
The attempt to break up the meeting al
| Mitchellstown by an armed force which
brutally attacked the crowd and was driven
| away; the murder OF inofTensive men after
ward by this force; the arrest and incar.
| ceration Of Mr., O'Brien In Dublin Castle
the weak effort of Mr.. Baliour to explain
the action Of his rufllanly troops are al
but efforts to arouse the Irish into resist
ance and thus give some excuse for the vic
lence which is intended to be used as tht
only possible method to keep the tory min
istry. with the Harrington adjunct, II
power.
1t is clearly established that at Mitchells
town the police first attacked the crowd
and were driven away, aud that but fol-
Mr.. Condor, a Parnellte NJ. p, the justly
aroused crowd would have inflicted serlou:
injury on the men who wantonly attacked
them. lie succeeded in preventing this, ant
afterward the police fired from the barrack
and killed some Of the persons attendin!
the meeting.
1t is gratifying to every friend OF Irelant
to see how patiently these impulsve peopl
are submitting to every wrong in the hop
Of working out their freedom from the op
preston that has lasted for centuries
Time brings all things to those who wait.

s25,CC0 appropriated for one purpose was
used for another because the engineer con-
missioner thought It was undoubtedly
meant" to be so used. In other words, the
engineer commissioner construed the lau-
gupge Of Congress to mean what 1t did not
say.
Usually the courts Of the United States
are the only recognized authority for con
strung the laws passed by Congress, but
II seems that the commissioners exercise
tlat power also, even place n construction
upon law that makes It directly repeal one
Of the criminal statutes.
II isrot to be wondered at that the treas
ury officials have called in question the pro
priety Of expending the money appropriated
for q specific and clearly stated object to an-
other aud different purpose. They gener-
ally do and 1t is fair to assume, without
inquiry, that the last part of the extract ia a
roundabout method of saying that the
accounts for the Illegal expenditure OF the
$4,000 have been suspended in the treas.
ufy.

some violation Of law every few days they
might try their power on this.

Arc the Accounts suspepdea.

When the District commissioners, par.
ticularly the engineer commissioner, start
out to make another explanation, they
would do well to take this extract from page
13O of their last annual report;
For the present fiscal year, lss6-'s7, there is
an appropriation for cleaning sewers ana basins
of S2itO0. This was undoubtedly meant to
cover the two items of the previous year, ag-
gregating the same, for cleaning and repair
ing lateral sewers" aud "oleaning tidal sewers
and Rock Creek basin" and has 30 been con.
sldered, and the money so expended. The
treasury officials have called In question the
proprlety OF expendng the money from this
appropriation for repairs. and 1t may be that
10 legalize the expenditure SO made con-
gressional action Will be necessary.
Congress is supposed to be the lawmak-
ing power, not only for the cosntry at
large, but for the District OF Columbia, and
there is a law which distinctly forblds
money appropriated for any purpose being
diverted or used for any other purpose.
The extract given above states that the

IL the face Of low prices, Russian and
East Indian competition, this country held
its own in the foreign wheat market during
the last fiscal year. 1t sent to England S5,-
100000 bushels; TO France, 10000, 900, and
to other European markets, 22,00O,0O0; a
total of 127,500, 900 bushels. The crop this
year shows surplus, estimated for export
east of the Rocky Mountains, of only So
100000, and II last years export Is to be
equaled the deficit OF 71,5O),0O0 bushels
must come from the west side of the CONT
nent. 1t may well be doubted whether the
output Of this region will furnish that much
for foreign consumption. Low prices have
lessened the acreage and wheat lands have
been surrendered to other crops.
